I'm wondering why that is.
This issue is an important one to me, and I'd like to continue the discussion in a serious vein. Many people have contributed valuable input.
If you have nothing to contribute, I'd prefer you not post here.
There is a place on this forum designated for jokes, insults, and snotty asides.
This is not it, though.

Do I care what you prefer? Ahhhhh...no.

Having an opinion other than yours is not derailing. Between the two threads on the topic, the track you're on is trying to accuse others who don't hold your opinion of being somehow threatened by mentally ill people. Pah-leez...your post 35 is something relevant? NOT.

For instance, I think anyone who undergoes a sex-change operation is mentally disturbed, but I support their freedom to have that operation and to be free of harrassment and to a lesser extent discrimination (I have some issues with their employment when children are involved), but you understand the disctintion.

ONLY KNOWN one transgendered person. I could not tell from the outside that the person was transgendered. he was a good worker, and could carry an intelligent conversation. I personally don't care much or have much concern over this issue.

This is what I hate about politics the most, it turns people in snobbish egotistical self righteous dicks who allow their political beliefs, partisan attitudes, and 'us vs. them' mentality, to force them to deny reality.
